anyone here give me some advice? i've got a technics that i have used occasionally for scratching. I recently took it out after a period of storage only to find the arm had cracked at the joint next to the counterbalance. I glued this with locktight however i am finding now when i scratch that the needle is jumping towards the outside of the record when i do even the most gentle baby scratches. i've tried using a penny on the needle to try and hold it on the groove but it actually seems to make it worse. The arm seems fine to me and i am wondering if the stylus might be the cause since it got a bit bent briefly at a party when i someone was cleaning dust of it. Any good burgers out there that can point me in the right direction? |

What cartridge do you use? If it's a stanton 500 or similar adjust the 2 srews which hold the cartridge; move it forwards or backwards you may find it cures it if you find the right place. |

But if it's bent it may start to wreck you records! |

its just the cartridge that came with it. ahh i'll have a twiddle and hopefully that will striaghten it out, it just seems super sensitive at the minute. fingers, toes and balls crossed this does the trick, cheers sah! |

i would assume cracking a tonearm would hurt its stability or rigidity when scratching my advice would be replace your tonearm... |

spareparts are bloody expensive. had to get a new armrest, because the old one had a cracked latch and a new cue-light. 15 quid :/ lucky you didn't have to buy a new arm. hope you learned your lesson |

15 euros for a spare part for a sylish turntable. that's cheap. i was expecting you to say something like 40, and i wouldn't have been shocked. |
